ST. MARYS - Local OSU Extension officials are using an area farm to test a different technique for planting winter cover crops.

On Wednesday morning, farmer Stanley Brown used his seed drill to plant cover crops in wheat stubble on his farm along state Route 364, southwest of St. Marys. Later in the afternoon, VanTilburg Farms officials used a seeder with 90-foot-wide booms to plant cover crops in rows of 8-foot-tall corn on the farm. [More]
